To all whom it concern V v Be i-t lmown that I, Gimm s NEWMAN, a' citizen of the United States, residing-at Brooklyn, in thecomity of Kings and State of New York have' invented new anduseful Improvements in Ironing-Board "Supports, of'whic'h the following is a-fls'pecification.

This invention relates to supports for ironing boards and itconsists inthe novel features hereinafter described and'claimed. An object of theinvention is to provide a support of simple and durable structure and adapted to be mounted upon a fixed object in a manner whereby the board may be easily and quickly detached from the support when desired. The parts of the support are so arranged that when the board is in position thereon it is securely held and the under side of obstructions so that the clothes may be readily positioned upon the board for ironing or pressing.

With the above objects in view-the support comprises two members preferably formed fro-m cast metal One of the said members be ing adapted to be mounted upon a fixed object and the other member frictionally engaging the first mentioned member. When the board is applied to the support it is retained in position between the said members.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective viev of an ironing board applied to the support. Fig. 2 is an edge elevation of an end portion of the same. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the base member and F ig. 41 is a perspective view of the plate member about to be described.

The support comprises a base member 1 adapted to be secured to a fixed object by means of screws 2 or other suitable securing' devices. I upper side of the member 1 in spaced relation and are provided with converging and inclined inner faces 4:. The lugs 3 are located at one end of the member 1 and the upper surface of the member 1 at the opposite end is inclined or beveled as at 5. The member 1 is preferably formed from cast metal. Inasmuch as the member 1 is adapted to be secured to a fixed object it will be hereinafter referred to as the base member. The support also includes a plate member 6 having formed integral therewith a the faces 1 of the lugs 3 and frictionally engage the same.

applied to themember'l the end of the post the upper surface of located between the lug 3, asbest indicated in Fig. 2 of the drawing. Thebody portion of the plate member 6'lies above the beveled surface 5 of the member 1 and the member Gis'pr'ovided atits under side with a series of transversely-disposed ridges and some o f the said ridges are disposed at the upper under side of the post 7. ber 6 is provided with" an reduces the metal'of the said member and also the weight thereof, and. in view of the fact that the said opening plate within the portion thereof upon which an iron may rest the said plate is not heated to an excessive degree when a hot iron is placed thereon. The plate member 6 is provided upon its upper side with a series of lugs, 10 which serve as guides and stops for directing the iron to a proper position upon the plate when it is placed on the same and The plate memalso for holding the iron upon position upon member 6 and its comopening 9 which is located in the ported with the major portion of its length.

projecting beyond the object upon which.

the member 1 is mounted. Consequently the clothes may be easily and quickly applied to the board for ironingor pressing. By reason of the fact that the upper surface of the member 1 is chamfered or beveled as at 5 a wedge-shaped recess is provided between the members 1 and 6 for the reception and direction of the end of the the said members. inserted between the'members the ridges 8 engage the upper surface of the board (as shown in Fig. 2) and thus the board curely and efliciently held in place with relation to the support. I

Having described the invention what is claimed is 1. A board holder comprising a member adapted to be appliedto an object, a plate member detachably engageable with the first mentioned member, there being a recess between the said members when connected, said recess adapted to receive the edge por tion ofa board.

board 11 between When the board 11 is is se- 2. A board holder comprising a base member and a plate member adapted to detachably engage the base member, there being a recess between the said members for the reception of the edge portion of the board, one of the members being provided with transversely disposed ribs adapted to engage the board.

3. A board holder comprising a member provided with up-standing spaced lugs, a plate member having a post adapted to fit snugly between the lugs there being a recess between the said members for the reception of the edge portion of a board.

4. A board holder comprising a base member having up-standing lugs provided with inclined and converging inner faces, a plate member having a wedge-shaped post adaptedto fit snugly against the faces of the lugs Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each,

there being a space between the members for the reception of the edge portion of a board.

5. A board holder comprising a member provided at one end with upstanding lugs spaced from each other and at its other end with a ohamfered upper surface, a plate member having a post adapted to fit snugly between the lugs and against the upper surface of the member there being a recess between the said members and above the said ohamfered surface of the base member for the reception of the edge portion of a board.

In testimony whereof I aiiiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
